Dreamworks has recently announced that the fifth season of She-Ra and the Princesses of Power will be its last. The series has been loved by fans and critics alike and was even nominated for an Emmy back in 2019.
The fifth and final season will premiere via Netflix on May 15. However, showrunner Noelle Stevenson told Entertainment Weekly that they knew their total episode count from the very beginning, stating the following:
“It was tailored to be 52 episodes, the length that it is, and that’s a real blessing for a storyteller because it means everything happens when it’s meant to happen. The story definitely evolved along the way, from people who worked on it and following the story threads that seemed right and where the characters led us. We set out with a plan, we executed that plan, so it’s very satisfying to see it wrap up like this.”
